Validation of the pedHAL(short) and HAL(short) in Dutch children and adults with haemophilia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The Haemophilia Activities List (HAL) and paediatric HAL assess self-reported limitations in various daily activities. To reduce patient burden, shorter versions of the pedHAL (22 items) and HAL (18 items) have been developed. AIM: This study aimed to determine the agreement between the pedHAL/HAL(full) and pedHAL/HAL(short) and construct validity and internal consistency of the pedHAL(/) HAL(short) in persons with haemophilia (PWH). METHODS: A cross-sectional secondary analysis of the Hemophilia in the Netherlands-6 national survey was performed. Adult and paediatric PWH completed the original pedHAL/HAL(full) , from which pedHAL(/) HAL(short) were derived. Score differences between the original and short versions were calculated. Construct validity was studied by testing hypotheses regarding the relationship of the pedHAL/HAL(short) with the pedHAL/HAL(full) , Haemophilia & Exercise Project Test-Questionnaire (HEP-Test-Q), Canadian Haemophilia Outcomes-Kids' Life Assessment Tool (CHO-KLAT) and RAND 36-item Health Survey (RAND-36) (convergent/discriminant validity) as well as its ability to discriminate between subgroups (known-group validity). Internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's α. RESULTS: We included 113 children (median 10y [range 4-17], 53% severe haemophilia) and 691 adults (median 51y [range 18-88], 35% severe). Scores of the pedHAL/HAL(full) and pedHAL/HAL(short) were similar with high correlations (>0.9). Construct validity was confirmed for the pedHAL/HAL(short) . The HAL(short) was able to discriminate between different disease severities and ages. Cronbach's α of the pedHAL/HAL(short) was 0.95-0.97. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the agreement between the pedHAL/HAL(full) and the pedHAL/HAL(short) and the construct validity of the pedHAL/HAL(short) . The next step is to study construct validity of the pedHAL/HAL(short) when administered as short forms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
